and the President directed Secretory TattČIO investigate them on his recent inspektion your of the Canal Zoon.

In his report to the President Mr. Taft're- commends that the demand of the 'steam shovel men for increased, pay, the most im 'portant matter involved, be denied, bot aug- gests that other demande be granted. In a letter addressed to Secretary Taft the President says:

L'approve of the recommendations therein. made and direct that the changes as therein.

outlined lake effect as from May 1"

In his report Sece tury Taft says ba gara a hearing to three classes of employees who had petitioned: First, steam shovel men, including engineers, cranemea and firemen ; second,.com struction locomotive engineers, and third, con struction train conductors. All three classes petitioned for a restoration of the old rule, granting six weeks annual leave, which might be spent anywhere, and allowed an employe to permit leave to accumulate for two years."\ Under the new regulations, which went into

effect April last annual'leave was feduced to thirty days, unless it be spant in the United States, and leave was not allowed; to accumu late beyond one year. Other changes in the regulations forbid employees from taking loave cach month and changed the rate for paisage on steamers for employees on leave from $20 to the regular Government rate. "The "arrange- ment for sick leave was also limited. Ou this point Secretary Taft says:

The old regulations were advertised in the printed announcements sent out by the com mission's agent to induce perions to go to the Isthmus and enter the employ of the commis sion, so that every, mán-who-has come to the, lathmus has come there with the understand- ing that the old regulations were to apply as part of his contract of service. It seems to me that good faith requires, that the old regulati tions as to leave shall not be materially changed and shall remain as part of the cabtract of service of those now, on the Isthmus, and that while there are some provisions

in the regulation which would make for the I more stringent enforcement of the Govern_ ment's rights and more certainly avoid possible, fraud, they should not be made applicable to men who came to the isthmus under the bid regulations.

The complaint against the rule of dismissing employees summarily without a hearing li mer by the Secretary by adopting a suggestion of Col. Goethals, the chief engineer to follow the rule of army engineers to dismiss unty after charges, one member of which shall represent a report of a commission bas sustained the

the craft to which the employee balongs.

Regarding the demands of the shovel mon

from $180 to $250 and that of the firemes from for increase of the wages of the engineers from Sita to $300 per month, that of the crace min $83.33 to $110 per month, the Secretary says the increase asked for engineers is about 48 per cent., for crate men' about 35 per cent, and for firemen about 31′per cent.

The Secretary recommends against the in- crease for the reason that the canal employees already receive from 25 to 35 per cent, more than the average' waga för like employmont ią. the United States, and were' surë'of employ ment twelve months in the year," while such employees in the United States worked nnual- ly not over nine months in the year

Mr. Taft soumerates other advantages on? joyed by the canal employees over those in the States, as follows:-

Every shovel man on the 1sthmus is entitled to six weeks leave, with pay as a vacation; so that he receiver twelva months pay for ten and a half months workat MatkaAST

It may be admitted that service on the Isthmus is attended with greater discomfort and greater visit of illness than that inɑtha States, due to the climate conditions, mud that, the distance from home, the difficulty of secara "lng" usual and raţional" amusements and the naturally depressing effect of conti uing high temperature make the service on the Isthmus Jess desirable than that in the United tates, But it is to be remarked that the original con- ditions of unhealth ulness which existed when the original rate, for thovel men was fixed in 1904 have been greatly bettered; that theżyellow fever has been stamped out; that the rutref death, and sickness among Americans igax- "cendingly low, and that life on the Isthm
